元に復帰させている。Conventionally, it has been proposed to use a piezoelectric element to drive a wire in a dot matrix printer or to drive an ink droplet generating mechanism in an inkjet printer. The pressure element is driven by a drive circuit shown in FIG. 4, for example. That is, the piezoelectric element 2 is connected to the DC power supply 1 via the transistor 3, and the voltage of the DC power supply 1 is applied to the piezoelectric element 2 when the transistor 3 is made conductive by the print start signal S1. When a voltage is applied, the piezoelectric element 2 expands or contracts, and the displacement is magnified by a transmission mechanism to drive a printing mechanism, such as a wire. However, the piezoelectric element 2 constitutes a capacitor, and even if the transistor 3 is turned off, the piezoelectric element 2 remains expanded or contracted because it is charged, and the displacement of the printing mechanism does not return to its original state. For this purpose, a transistor 4 is connected in parallel to the piezoelectric element 2, and after the end of the printing operation, the transistor 4 is turned on for a certain period of time by the printing end signal S2, thereby discharging the charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element 2 and reducing the applied voltage to zero. The displacement of the printing mechanism is returned to its original state.
ところが、圧電素子2に蓄積された電荷は放電時に抵抗

流電源1から再度充電している。
このため、印字機構の駆動に際し電力損失が大きくなり
、電力効率が良くないという問題があった。However, the charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element 2 is lost as resistance loss during discharge, and when the piezoelectric element 2 is driven again, it is charged again from the DC power source 1. For this reason, there is a problem in that power loss is large when driving the printing mechanism, and power efficiency is poor.

設けたことである。[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure of the invention for solving the above problems is to provide a piezoelectric element drive circuit having a charging circuit that charges the piezoelectric element with a DC power supply in response to an external signal. A discharge circuit is connected between the terminals of the coil and a switch element connected in series with each other, and the switching element conducts depending on the control signal.The DC power supply is connected to both terminals of the coil through diodes that block current flowing from the DC power supply. This is because a regenerative circuit is connected to the regenerative circuit.

で、圧電素子駆動回路の電力効率が向上する。During operation, the piezoelectric element is charged from a DC power source by a charging circuit. Furthermore, when the piezoelectric element is discharged after being driven, a current flows through a discharge circuit consisting of a series connection of a coil and a switch element that is brought into conduction by a control signal, and the electrostatic energy accumulated in the piezoelectric element is stored in the coil as static magnetic energy. It will be done. When the switching element is turned off when the voltage between the terminals of the piezoelectric element is almost zero, current flows to the positive side of the DC power supply through the diode due to the back electromotive force of the coil, and the energy stored in the coil is transferred to the DC power supply. be regenerated. Therefore, the charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element during driving is regenerated, so that the power efficiency of the piezoelectric element drive circuit is improved.

、導通と非導通を制御できれば他の構成でも構わない。The present invention will be described below based on specific examples. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a piezoelectric element drive circuit according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. A series circuit of a transistor 3 and a DC power supply 1, which constitute a charging circuit, is connected to both terminals of the piezoelectric element 2. In addition, a coil 5 is connected between the terminals of the piezoelectric element 2.
A discharge circuit consisting of a series connection to the switch element and the switch element is connected. The switch element A connects the a terminal of the coil 5 to the piezoelectric element 2.
A transistor 6 constitutes a main switch for connecting to the ground terminal of the piezoelectric element 2, and a transistor 7 serves to turn on the transistor 6 by a control signal and turn off the transistor 6 when the terminal voltage 1 of the piezoelectric element 2 becomes approximately 0 volts. It consists of transistor 8. Further, the a terminal of the coil 5 is connected to the positive electrode of the DC power source 1 via a diode 9, and the b terminal of the coil 5 is connected to the negative electrode (ground) of the DC power source 1 via a diode 10. The polarity of the diodes 9 and 10 is such that it prevents current from flowing away from the positive pole of the DC power supply 1. The voltage waveform and current waveform of each part are shown in FIG. First, at time t1, when the drive start signal 2 inputted to the base of the transistor 30 becomes high level, the transistor 3
is turned on, a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 2 from the DC power supply 1, the terminal voltage 1 becomes a predetermined power supply voltage VM, and the piezoelectric element 2 is charged. Then, the piezoelectric element 2 expands or contracts, and the displacement caused by charging is magnified by a transmission mechanism (not shown) to drive the wire and print a corresponding dot. Next, the drive start signal ■2 applied to the base of the transistor 30 becomes a low level at time t2, and the transistor 3 is turned off at time t2, but the piezoelectric element 2 has charges accumulated, and its terminal voltage ■1 becomes The power supply voltage VM is maintained, and the piezoelectric element 2 remains displaced. Next, at time t3, when the drive end signal 3 is applied to the base of the transistor 70, the transistor 7 is turned on and the collector potential of the transistor 7 becomes approximately 0 volts. Then,
Since the base and emitter of the transistor 8 are biased in the forward direction, the transistor 8 is turned on. Then, since the base and emitter of the transistor 6 are biased in the forward direction, the transistor 6 is turned on. When the transistor 6 is turned on, the a terminal of the coil 5 is grounded, so the charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element 2 is transferred to the coil 5.
flows through transistor 6 and is discharged. At this time, the phase of the current I flowing through the coil 5 is delayed by π/2 with respect to the terminal voltage ■1 of the piezoelectric element 2. That is, the terminal voltage V1 of the piezoelectric element 2 gradually decreases from time t3 to time t4 and becomes zero at time t4. On the other hand, coil 5
The current I flowing through reaches the maximum value Im at time t4. When the terminal voltage 1 of the piezoelectric element 2 becomes approximately O volts due to discharge, the base current of the transistor 8 stops flowing and the transistor 8 is turned off. Then, the base current of the transistor 6 also becomes O, and the transistor 6 is also turned off. When the transistor 6 turns off, a back electromotive force is generated in the coil 5, and the diode 9
, the current flows through the DC power supply 1, the diode 10, and the coil 5
The energy stored in is regenerated to the DC power supply 1. The current I2 flowing through the DC power supply 1 starts flowing 1 m from time t4, and becomes zero at time t5. In this way, the charge charged in the piezoelectric element 2 during driving is regenerated to the DC power supply 1, and the terminal voltage 1 of the piezoelectric element 2 becomes approximately O volts, and the displacement of the piezoelectric element 2 returns to its original state. FIG. 3 shows a drive circuit for a dot matrix printer. In the drive circuit shown in FIG. 3, the circuit section B is commonly used by the circuits C1 to Cn for each wire. In the circuit C1, a transistor 71 that selectively charges the piezoelectric element 21 is connected between the piezoelectric element 21 and the DC power supply 1, and a cathode is connected between the positive electrode of the piezoelectric element 21 and the b terminal of the coil 5, and the negative electrode is connected to the b terminal. A diode 81 is provided. Other circuit C
The configuration of circuits 2 to Cn is the same as that of circuit CI. When driving a piezoelectric element, if a drive start signal (2) is input to the base of the transistor 71 of the circuit C1 having the piezoelectric element to be driven, such as the piezoelectric element 21, the piezoelectric element 21 is driven. At this time, the diodes provided in the other circuits C2 to Cn, which are equivalent to the diode 81 of the circuit CI, are reverse biased, so the piezoelectric elements of the other circuits 02 to Cn are not charged. Therefore, only the piezoelectric element of the circuit to which the drive start signal (2) is input is selectively charged. When regenerating the charge stored in each piezoelectric element,
The drive end signal 3 is input to the base of the transistor 7. Then, from all the charged piezoelectric elements, the diode 8
A current flows through the coil 5 and the transistor 6 through the coil 5 and the transistor 6. After that, when the potential of the b terminal of the coil 5 becomes approximately 0 volts, the transistor 6 is turned off, and the back electromotive force generated in the coil 5 converts the circuit consisting of the diode 9, the DC power supply 1, the diode 10, and the coil 5 into a DC power supply. Current flows in the direction of the positive electrode. In this way, the charges of all the charged piezoelectric elements are regenerated to the DC power supply 1 all at once. still,
The switch element A shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is an example, and other configurations may be used as long as conduction and non-conduction can be controlled.

? Since the piezoelectric element has a regeneration circuit connected to fA, the charge charged in the piezoelectric element during driving is regenerated to the power supply by turning the switch element on and off once. Therefore, since the switching loss during regeneration can be reduced and the charged charges can be effectively regenerated, the power efficiency of the piezoelectric element drive circuit is improved.
